not even comparable. Koyfin would take much much longer to feed new filings than BamSec

the only place this beats BamSec is the mobile website, i really hope BamSec can get their act together on that front

other than being essentially unusable on mobile/tablet, BamSec is second to none when it comes to efficiently searching through filings and transcripts. really like how it pre-sorts all a company's documents into PRs, 8-Ks, proxies, trancripts, 10-K/-Q, et cetera we also like that you can use screening function that enables searches across multiple companies or company lists

Depending on which area of the finance sector you may work in, the Bloomberg Terminal will have plenty of helpful functionality for you. Two specific scenarios for myself in the Structured Finance area are tracking the pricing benchmark and following outstanding deals in the market. You can follow progress of the deals, how well they are advancing, and final pricing details
